I was rocking H, and Leo comes in with an alphabet tracing sheet. He has forgotten what sound the letter P makes, so he says "What does P start with?," which in Leo language means "Tell me some words that start with P."
me: puh, puh, puh, Papa
Leo: oh yeah...puh, puh
me: and popcorn
Leo: and p*ssed in cup
me: What?
Leo: p*ssed in cup
me: Leo, where did you learn that word?
Leo, realizing that the tone has changed: I didn't learn that word.
me: It's ok, I just want to know where you heard it.
Leo: Well, they said it at Panther Preschool.
me: They said it at school? P*ssed in cup?
Leo: yes, and on that movie - the p*ssed in cup.
Finally dawns on me. CARS. The Piston Cup.

Leoisms
This morning at the door:
Leo: Bye Daddy! Drive safely!
Daddy: I will!
(we close the door)
Leo: Why didn't Daddy say yes?
Me: Well, he said "I will."
Leo: But why didn't he say yes?
Me, defeated (envisioning the many hours ahead): I don't know, Leo.
Leo: Well, I think it's just because Daddy is a scourge.
Leo: Bye Daddy! Drive safely!
Daddy: I will!
(we close the door)
Leo: Why didn't Daddy say yes?
Me: Well, he said "I will."
Leo: But why didn't he say yes?
Me, defeated (envisioning the many hours ahead): I don't know, Leo.
Leo: Well, I think it's just because Daddy is a scourge.

Sometimes I think he's really bright...
and other times I really wonder... Or maybe he thinks I'm the one who is short a few marbles.
I'm standing here at my laptop on the kitchen bar. Our kitchen and LR are separated by a bar, but they're basically one room.
Leo: Mommy, are you going to go in the office soon and type on your computer?
Me: No
Leo: Why?
Me: Because I don't need to
5 mins later...
Leo: Mommy, are you going in the office to type on your computer?
Me: No. Do you want to play on the computer?
Leo: No.
5 mins later...
Leo: Mommy, you need to go in the office and type on your computer.
Me: LEO! Why do you keep saying that? Why do you care which computer I use?
Leo: I want you to go in there so you won't see me jumping on the couch.
